Candyman Trailer Breakdown: 5 Ups & 3 Downs

Up - Atmosphere

Throughout the entire trailer, there is a suspenseful and brooding atmosphere. The contrast between the harshly exposed exterior shots and the wasp jacket-coloured interiors harken existing fans back to the 1992 original.

The clinical aesthetic throughout highlights the jarring feeling of unease, especially when it contrasts with the earthy colours of the artwork of the protagonist.

This contrasting tone is rife throughout Jordan Peele's horror movies, so it is excellent to see his signature style present in his telling of an old franchise.
